1909 touring #714 postcard

Post by Dropacent » Thu May 20, 2021 2:25 pm

Just came across this old postcard in a friends old car archives. It was sent by Warwick Eastwood, in Pasadena Ca. On the backside, it states “this is my 1909 T touring, engine #714. I found it here in Pasadena where it had been in storage since 1923. Leonard Davis used this car in the Ford film, American Road”
If the car is owned by anyone here, I’d be glad to send it on.

Warwick & my dad , Doug , were twins , and long time members of the Horseless Carriage Club.
They bought this car in the early 1950's & were partners on the car . My dad bought out my uncle and rerestored the car .
We toured it for many years . Later my dad sold the car to Bill Harrah for his collection .
The car is now in the Los Angeles county museum collection & stored in a warehouse in Gardena .
The fellow that drove it in the movie was Bill Collier , a family friend & HCCA member .

Me , my brother & my dad at Lake Tahoe , 1962 , at this time it still had the original Top & upholstery !

It looks to be running 3-1/2" front tires ?
